The card comes with a 68882 FPU and costs around $200. FPU = Floating Point Unit (co-processor) In all cases the FPU runs at the same speed as the CPU. + The IIsi, LC, and the IIci include circuitry to provide video signals. The other Mac II's require a video display card. Ray Fischer rfischer@cs.stanford.edu
